The history of the Great Plains and the Santa Fe Trail is told in text and pictures by focusing on a cottonwood tree and the events that happen around it. Review: Excellent Book - The story of the tree on the Santa Fe trail was so so good, I want it to be true so I could see the yoke made from it. The illustrations were fantastic. We used it for homeschooling and we learned so much about the trail and the people that traveled it. I HIGHLY recommend this book. Review: Surprisingly full of information and detail, with beautiful illustrations - This book was part of my children's geography homeschooling. What a fun, interesting book. it would be even more interesting if it were Canadian :) - but I really enjoyed the book, and so did my children. We colored maps, adding on the places mentioned in the book, drew our own pictures of the tech (flintlock guns, the yoke, stockades), jotted down information in our illustrated notebooks, and it was a fun little addition.
